Sims 3 IGN preview: Riverview en Store

IGN heeft op deze pagina een nieuwe preview van Sims 3 online gezet met informatie over de Riverview buurt en de Sims 3 Store.

One thing that you won’t need to spend money on is Riverview, the town that’s only available once you register. After you’ve registered, you go to the Web site and download Riverview; that process launches The Sims 3 Game Launcher, the utility that lets you manage all of your downloaded content. Riverview will show up in the Downloads section. You then select it and click on install to have it installed into your game. Now you can play in Riverview. After that, Riverview shows up in your Installed Content section, where you can uninstall it and any other content that you’ve downloaded and installed from the Web site. So if you don’t like a sim that you’ve downloaded from The Exchange, this is where you go to get rid of him or her.

Riverview offers up its own adventures to uncover. On our first runaround the town we discovered an abandoned and boarded up mine entrance on the outskirts as town, as well as a fish farm that’s perfect if your sims like to go fishing. The miniature Stonehenge on a small island in the river is perfect to get away from everything, though we haven’t figured out how to interact with it yet; is it a place for pagan rituals or just a nice spot for sims to make out?

Zijn jouw Sims al klaar voor De Sims 3?

Niet dat jouw Sims uit De Sims 2 naar De Sims 3 kunnen maar de officiële Duitse De Sims 2 site heeft op deze pagina een kofferset voor in De Sims 2 online gezet, een plattegrond (ik denk van Sunset Valley) en een scheurkalender.

Je kunt de zips zo downloaden zonder ingelogd te zijn.

Illegale versies Sims 3 zijn beta versies vol met bug’s

EA heeft in een persbericht gereageerd op de vele illegale kopiëen van Sims 3 die nu opduiken.

Benn Bell said “The Sims 3,” available June 3, will also feature a moviemaking tool and more options for players to customize their Sims’ homes, furnishings and clothes. Gamers can even turn their Sims into kleptomaniacs.

“A Sim who has this trait is going to have wishes in life to steal things from other people,” said Bell. “They also have the ability to sneak into a friend’s house, walk into a room where nobody happens to be hanging out and maybe swipe something. One of the fun things I’ve seen people on the team do is build up a whole household of stolen things.”

In perhaps a case of life imitating art, a pirated copy of “The Sims 3″ has already been leaked on several file-sharing Web sites two weeks before the game’s launch.

EA said the pirated version “is a buggy, pre-final” version of the game.

“It’s not the full game. Half of the world — an entire second city — is missing,” said spokeswoman Holly Rockwood in a statement.

Electronic Arts has announced it is publishing “The Sims 3″ without restrictive anti-piracy software known as DRM, a form of copy protection that requires online authentication.
